Oh my goodness- it is December isn't it?!?!?!It snuck up on me :)
Just to clarify, what sort of book is "about winter or snow"? I'm asking, is a book set in winter okay, or does winter as the time of year need to be a major element/theme of the story?

How was Mini-Shopaholic? I'm dying to read it.
It was cute. Not as good as some of the others in the series, but okay. Honestly, I'm kind of getting a teensy bit annoyed with Becky at this point. The airhead bit was cute when she was 25ish, but at 35ish, I feel like it's time for her to grow up...
Both of these books take place over the winter break.Cathy wrote: "I read
